Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow completed his first nine attempts of Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers at Paul Brown Stadium in addition to his first-quarter rushing touchdown.
Burrow's seventh completion was a 32-yard pass to Tee Higgins in the end zone to finish a six-play, 75-yard drive early in the second quarter and give the Bengals a 17-3 lead.
The Steelers argued for offensive pass interference, but CBS color analyst Trent Green insisted that "there was no push-off" by Higgins on Pittsburgh cornerback James Pierre, who got the start in place of the injured Joe Haden.
It was Higgins' third touchdown catch of the season, and Burrow's 22nd TD pass.
Social media reactions:
The Bengals increased their lead to 24-3 on Joe Mixon's touchdown run later in the first half.
